An X-ray diagnostic installation has an X-ray tube which emits a fan-shaped radiation beam which is directed through a movable diaphragm for sweeping the beam over a subject. The fluorescopic image resulting therefrom is supplied to an image intensifier which is coupled to a picture recording device which is connected to a display unit for displaying the radiation profile impringing on the image intensifier. The image recording device contains a solid state image converter which is oriented with respect to the fluorescent screen of the image intensifier. A control unit 17 controls the transmission of the image from the image intensifier to the solid state image converter such that the linear image on the fluorescent screen of the image intensifier, during movement of the X-ray beam, is always detected by the recording region of the solid state image converter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim as my invention: 1.
An X-ray diagnostic installation comprising: an X-ray tube for emitting a fan-shaped radiation beam; an X-ray image intensifier having an input fluorescent screen and an output fluorescent screen; a patient support means disposed between said X-ray tube and said X-ray image intensifier; a means disposed in front of said X-ray tube for generating movement of said radiation beam for sweeping said beam over a subject on said support device; an image recording means connected to the output of said image intensifier, said image recording means having a solid state image converter optically coupled to said output fluorescent screen of said image intensifier, said solid state image converter having a recording region; a control means connected to at least one of said means for generating movement of said radiation beam, said image intensifier or said image converter for controlling transmission of the image from said image intensifier to said image converter such that a linear image on said output fluorescent screen of said image intensifier during movement of said radiation beam is always directed at said recording region of said image converter; and a display unit connected to said image recording device for visually displaying a reproduction of the output of said image intensifier.
2.
The X-ray diagnostic installation of claim 1 wherein said solid state image converter is comprised of a linear row of a plurality of detector elements.
3.
The X-ray diagnostic installation of claim 1 further comprising an image converter positioner mechanically connected to said image converter and electrically connected to said control means for mechanically displacing said image converter in response to signals received from said control means.
4.
The X-ray diagnostic installation of claim 1 wherein said image recording device has a mirror for directing the image on said output fluorescent screen of said image intensifier to said image converter and further comprising a mirror positioner mechanically connected to said mirror and electrically connected to said control means for selectively positioning said mirror for positioning said image on said image converter in response to signals from said control means
